Jan Vesely had a good game against the Spurs for his new team, Fenerbahce Ulker, scoring nine points with six rebounds, three assists and one block.

He was selected before Kawhi Leonard in the 2011 draft and that pick obviously didn't work out well for the Wizards. Vesely is probably better off overseas and might actually be a very good player over there. He also made his only free throw attempt! Sat, Oct 11, 2014 02:22:00 PM

Jan Vesely has signed a two-year deal with Fenerbahçe Ülker of the Turkish League.

If this is the last we see of Vesely in the NBA, he'll leave the league with career with averages of 3.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game over three seasons with the Wizards and Nuggets. The former lottery pick could use his time in Turkey as a springboard to return to the NBA, but fantasy owners don't need to worry about the 24-year-old for at least the next two years.

Jan Vesely is expected to fly to Istanbul, Turkey this week to have his physical.

He signed a deal with Fenerbahçe Ülker and won't be in the NBA this season. Vesely was a disaster for much of his career as one of the worst players at the free throw line. Mon, Jul 28, 2014 09:19:00 AM

It's not a surprise after he really struggled in his first three seasons in the NBA. Vesely will forever be linked to being selected over Kawhi Leonard, who was the heavy favorite to go sixth in the draft 2011 draft. Vesely shot just 33.9 percent from the line in his career.

Nick Johnson "clashed" with the Rio Grande coaching staff in the D-League, according to Grantland's Zach Lowe.

One could argue that Johnson is the most valuable player to come over in the Ty Lawson deal. He's a combo guard and has looked good at all non-NBA levels. However, Johnson struggled badly with the Rockets last season. He is going to battle with Erick Green for the No. 3 point guard spot.

Jusuf Nurkic (knee) said that everything is going good in his recovery from offseason knee surgery, but he would not commit to an official return date.

"Everything is going good," said Nurkic. "[Trainers and doctors] tell me that everything is good. I feel so good, but I must be patient day-by-day." When asked if he'd be ready for training camp Nurkic responded: "It's not important for now. Let's think about the next 15 years, not one month before, or one less." We'll be tracking Nurkic's progress closely this offseason, but he'll have the starting center spot locked up in Denver and should make for a quality late-round pick on draft day.
